These interactive activities will help students understand the following learning objectives:
· leaves can be tested for the presence of starch using iodine,
· light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are required for photosynthesis
· oxygen is produced during photosynthesis
· the rate of photosynthesis can be increased by increasing the light intensity, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration
